Search Results: she wants more

Help me, science nerds. I suck at science. I've been wondering this for a long time. Inquiring minds need to know.

I don't want to keep a spoon in my coffee while I'm drinking it, but I'm interested in when I'm making it up (and using a hand frother to make up some foam for a pseudo cappuccino), if in that interim, after stirring in the sugar, should I keep the spoon in or take the spoon out? Which will keep the coffee hotter longer?

I think the layer of milk foam does help to retain the heat a bit, making a somewhat protective 'cloud pocket' I'm calling it. But would a spoon sitting in it while I'm doing this pull heat or retain heat?

Would you change your answer depending on the mug material? Ex: ceramic, bone china, glass, metal, plastic, paper cup. Obviously metal is far more conductive than paper and plastic, and ceramic and bone china are... what... in the middle of efficiency? I always use ceramic mugs at home.

I've tried various things to keep my one cup of coffee as hot as possible for as long as possible. I have a hotplate. It tends to burn the coffee, even on low temperatures. 176F seems to be the best temp to drink the coffee, but it burns. Lower temperatures will burn the coffee when the quantity is lower in the mug (about halfway empty; or halfway full, lol).

I also have a ceramic top/lid. I'm back to using that a lot now. I find it works the best. But, of course, you have to keep taking it on and off for every sip.

I don't use coffee makers, so there is no pot to pull from. It's too much volume of coffee. I"m sensitive to caffeine.

Anyway, any science-y thoughts or advice, I'm interested. Use all the jargon. Talk over my head,, lol. The more science, the better...

I recently saved many of those Ai generated fanfics about certain hot male characters. They are basically romance with seduction but it’s not Rated R more like aged 16 and above. My trip to Seoul takes hours so I’m thinking of killing time to read them on an airplane before reaching my destination. I prefer reading to watching movies on an airplane because I’m extremely picky about the movies. If there is no documentary I wouldn’t want to watch it.

I keep seeing it all over the place, this idea that you can’t do something even though it’s within your control. For example, someone who says “I can’t afford to have a hobby!” There are plenty of hobbies that don’t cost money. “I can’t work! Nobody’s hiring!” Yes they are, if you really, truly need money then you can find a job, you’re just not looking everywhere. “I can’t get a boyfriend/girlfriend!” Yes, you can. You just need to get out of the house more and make an effort.

I don’t know, it just ticks me off to see so many people act helpless and refuse to believe otherwise. You can do anything, be anything, you just have to put in the effort. And yeah, it’s hard sometimes, but if you really want something then it’s worth it.
